Jeez...they sure don’t make “hit men” like they used to make them. It’s Amateur Hour now.

Props to the intended target for his active rolling which helped prevent the amateur assassin from having an easy shot.

Stop, Drop and Roll maggot! He learned well.

I moved to NJ in 1985. A few weeks later there was the hit on Paul Castellano by John Gotti outside some steak house in New York City. Sure opened the eyes of a new college graduate from the Midwest! I didn't think that kind of stuff still happened!

After living there awhile one figured stuff out. A friend of a friend knew a great Italian restaurant. So we drive, end up going through a huge warehouse district east of NYC and then this huge white restaurant just appears among all of the warehouses. Had huge white columns going up a couple of stories all around it supporting the eaves.

It was lunch time, and the parking lot was empty except for three or four limos on the back corner.

The huge place was empty, and they seat us in our own separate room. We had a five course meal for lunch - paid for by the friend!

I didn't say anything to anybody, but I had a slight suspicion that it might somehow be tied to the mob. Just perhaps!

Some gray haired distinguished looking gentleman is not amused. Something tells me there will be another hit in a few weeks.
